Canyoning in Perthshire

£50.00

£50.00

Rediscover your sense of adventure – and what it’s like to be soaked to the skin! Canyoning is a truly all-round adventure experience, following a natural water course through a precipitous canyon. To start off with you’ll have a safety briefing with your instructor and get kitted out with the right equipment. Then after a short walk to the top of the beautiful Allt’ a Bhealaich Gorge, you’ll follow the natural water course down through the gorge, descending waterfalls, sliding down natural water flumes, scrambling down gorges and jumping into deep, clear rock pools. In some sections you’ll use harnesses and ropes to get down, all safely controlled by your instructor. No part of the descent is compulsory – you can always take the path instead.
